lyrics

Shoes, Size 10 1/2  

Notebooks full of chicken scratch 
Boots and shoes, size ten and a half
 If I didn't cry I'd have to laugh, boo hoo 
What will I leave behind  
But worn out boots and shoes  

You were in my dream last night for a little while
 It did not seem all that strange when you cracked a smile
 And you asked, what would I do  
Without my boots and shoes

  Is there some lesson here I have failed to learn 
Is there a pressure valve I forgot to turn 
Where've I been and where am I going to 
And how'm I gonna to get there
 Without my boots and shoes  

Reincarnated with a new shoe size
 Fullfilled, will I have realized 
What you meant to me, and what I meant to you
 Or will I be back just to wear out boots and shoes   

You were in my dream last night for a little while
 It did not seem all that strange when you cracked a smile And you asked me, what will I do  
Without my boots and shoes
